Issue with new HD

[Shortbusgod1]

I just hooked up my new HD and I am having some problems. Everything I have done has said its there and working but I can't access it(i.e. open up My Computer and its not there). Device manager says its there and working as well as Western digital Diagnostics. I am at a loss as to where to go from here. Thanks in advance.

Right-click My Computer/Manage/Disk Management - do you see it there?

Sorta, it is shown on the bottom but not the top:

Its the 750 gig one

Also sorry about the bad pic, I will fix it but I am busy right now

Well, it won't show up on the top because it is showing as unallocated space. Right click on the unallocated space and run the New Partition wizard and setup your partitions. Then you will need to format your new partitions.

Thanks for posting the picture, it made it very easy to diagnose.

Oh the never ending fun of the "do it yourselfer." Welcome to the madness.

Enjoy saving all the pron... er data.
